Re: Submit your EQ Curves

Thanks Bruski. The curve loads fine once the file extension has been changed.
Could you say something about that curve. Is it for a specific purpose? Are those the settings that work best with your speakers?

Re: saving as mp3

they are file type 15 or 15c or 00 What do you mean "file type 15 or 15c or 00"? Do you mean that the file extension (the last part of the file name after the dot) is "15" or "15c" or "00"? When you Exported the file as MP3, did you enter a name that ended wi...

Re: Recording From Computer Too Slow

If the sound quality (other than the speed) is OK, then my guess is that it is due to mis-matched sample rates. Does the difference in speed tally with a difference between 44100 Hz and 48000 Hz? The first thing that I'd try is rebooting the computer, then test by recording something that has worked...

Re: Render vocals indecipherable; maintain human speech qual

Try this "reverso" effect.
It takes short sections of the sound and reverses them.

Re: Shepard Tone without plugin

Yes it's possible, but quite tricky. You can use the "Chirp" generator to create the sweeping tones (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/generate_menu.html#chirp), then use either the envelope tool (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/envelope_tool.html) or the Adjustable Fade effect (ht...

Re: Problem with .wav format after exporting audio file

But then a warning window popped up and said certain programs might not be able to recognize this format and did I want to go ahead? Was the message: You are about to export a WAV file with the name "Sample.test". Normally these files end in ".wav", and some programs will not op...

Re: Setting 192 Bitrate

I went into Options and tried all categories. My guess is that you are reading some instructions that are intended for the obsolete 1.2.6 version of Audacity. The current version of Audacity is 2.0.6 and is available here: http://audacityteam.org/download/ If you are on Windows or Mac OS X and you ...
